There have been several standout
players at USC in the
McGuire era, but the ones who has
probably made the greatest mark
in the pros is Brian Winters.
Winters plays professionally for
the Milwaukee Bucks and is doing
very well. In his five yers with the
Bucks he has made the all-star
team twice and has been elected
captain of the team the last four
years.
"I enjoy playing in Milwaukee a
lot. We are fortunate in that we
have a team of individuals who are
all about the same age, so we
understand eachother pretty well,"
Winters said. "We hope to be
playing together for many more

years which is great because we
consider ourselves one big. happy
family."
WINTERS ADDF.I) the Bucks
are doing quite well and should
make the playoffs. "Right now we
are second in our division, which is
the Mideast division, and are two
games behind Kansas City. We've
been playing really well lately so I
think we have a good shot at
overtaking them."
One of the reasons Winters is
optimistic about the rest of the
season is the acquistion of a new
player. "We just lost Bob Lanier
from Detriot and since he started
playing with us we are 6-1. The one
we lost was a point loss to San
Antonio Sunday," Winters said.
"He's an outstanding center.

6 points a game at
ock star r
which has been our weakness for
the last couple of years. With him
in there I think there's no limit as
to how far we can go."
Winters seems to be pleased , but
not overjoyed about his progress
this season. "I'm averaging about
17 points a game right now. I
haven't had a particularly good
season, but as long as the team is
playing well I don't mind too
much,"Winters said
"MY BEST GAME scoring wise
was 33 out on the West Coast
against Golden State,"Winters
said. "I've had other games where
I've scored points and had a lot of
assists and steals, so its really
hard to say what the best game
was."
Winters said the best game of the
season as a team came a week ago.
"We were playing Phoenix in
Milwaukee . We were down by a
few points , but played tough in the
stretch to come back and win it. It
washome game and we need to win
our home games. Also Phoenix is
an excellent team and it's good for

This trip back lo Columbia has
special meaning for Winters. "This
is the first game I've seen in the
coliseum since I left Carolina.'"
Winters said. "Since it is coach
McGuire's last voar coaching, 1
wanted to make it hack to see him
on the bench at least once more.
He's a great man.'
"I ALWAYS i:\IOV coming

On another subject Winters said
he thought the trade sending
former teammate and close friend
Alexander Knglish to the Denver
Nuggets was a good one. "Alex is
an excellent pla\?r I'm really
happy to see him in a place where
he'll do a little betH r I don't think
he was too happ> w 11h the way he
was being used in Indiana. Denver

him Donnie W.il-h is putting
